Lycopene is a potent antioxidant found in tomatoes, watermelon, guava, papaya, apricots, pink grapefruit, blood oranges, and other foods!. Estimates suggest 85 percent of American dietary intake of lycopene comes from tomatoes and tomato products!.
Selenium is a mineral, not an antioxidant nutrient!. However, it is a component of antioxidant enzymes!. Plant foods like rice and wheat are the major dietary sources of selenium in most countries!.

Animals that eat grains or plants grown in selenium-rich soil have higher levels of selenium in their muscle!. In the United States, meats and bread are common sources of dietary selenium!. Brazil nuts also contain large quantities of selenium!.
Vitamin A is found in three main forms: retinol (Vitamin A1), 3,4-didehydroretinol (Vitamin A2), and 3-hydroxy-retinol (Vitamin A3)!. Foods rich in vitamin A include liver, sweet potatoes, carrots, milk, egg yolks and mozzarella cheese!.
